Theme Thursday - contrast

I am participating in Stacy's Theme Thursday although I missed last week's color theme. This week is contrast.

Here is a photo of Carlos by Carlos Santana pump my 18 year-old daughter received for Christmas from her grandma.

The first contrast is with a few adjustments in Photoshop. Unsharp mask and then bumping up the blue contrast so the jeans pop. I like okay



Now some variations with black and white

Here is just converting to black and white:





More contrast for this look:



Lastly, I played with shadows and highlights. I like this the best.




Any other votes?

    I actually like the 1st b&w. Those are some fancy heels. I don't remember the last time I wore some heels!!! : ) They look great with the jeans.

    I sure like that 3rd picture. Makes the gloss on the shoe tips really pop.

    Oh and I see you're into sewnig in a big way. Wish I had more time and expertise. If you're interested... Simplicity pattern 3867 has fiddly shoulder straps which are too thick!! (pronounced by my designer husband :-)

    I like the last one, it gives the composition an artsy edge.

    I haven't worn shoes like that since having kids :)
